With a bachelor of biomedical sciences degree, you can pursue a long list of lucrative career options in science. How do you choose which is right for you?

According to career experts, making these decisions early on and creating a game plan to achieve your career aspirations are important to finding success, particularly in the field of science.

If you’re still undecided, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has an interactive tool that can help you narrow down some options and map out a strategic plan. 

Created by scientists, AAAS’s Individual Development Plan (IDP) provides exercises that help examine your skills, interests and values. Based on this information, the program will select individualized careers from 20 different science-related options. The program will also help you identify preferred and alternative career paths.

Once you’ve chosen a career path, IDP will guide you in setting goals for the upcoming year with optional reminders. It’s a great way to get a head start on any career in science.
